Two point charges of charge q(1) and q(2...

Two point charges of charge `q_(1)` and `q_(2)` (both of same sign) and each of mass m are placed such that gravitational attraction between them balances the electrostatic replusion. Are they in stable equilibrium ? If not then what is the nature of equilibrium ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are in stable equilibrium, we need to analyze the forces acting on them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces**: - The gravitational force \( F_g \) between the two masses \( m \) is given by: \[ F_g = \frac{G m^2}{r^2} ...
